Courtroom Gallery Across Three Moments
What This Image Shows
Three courtroom video screenshots stacked vertically, each a slightly different moment in the same proceeding, with the positions and expressions of people in the gallery and at the tables shifting between them. Six numbered annotations in different colors are superimposed on each panel, tracking the same individuals across the three frames.
Hearings in this case are public proceedings, and who attends them is part of the record. It matters here because the family's position has been widely misreported. Investigation notes record researchers stating that they asked the Robinson family directly at a January 16 hearing and were told the family does not believe he did this, and that the narrative about his parents turning him in is not accurate as told. A separate account passed through a relative reports him saying he did not do it but knows who did and will not say because it would endanger the family — hearsay at second hand, recorded as such.
No one in the gallery is named on this page and no conduct is alleged against anyone in the room; the numbering is the annotator's tracking device. Read Family, Personality, Hearing Witnesses and Court.
